The animation looks to be pretty good, and I liked the manga, since it kinda reminded me of Shina Dark in some ways(though the manga vers of the stuCo girl arc was horrific from what was translated). Hopefully, this will turn out to be a pretty faithful novel adaptation, since ppl say its better than the manga.

How about just an enjoyable anime? Adaptations aren't marriages, in that faithfulness isn't always necessary.

Gah, you're right. It's actually probably better that I don't know really know the source material. Its almost always more enjoyable to watch a show w/o knowing what's going to happen. As long as it entertains me, that should be all that matters.

I like the cast a lot. Just to show my own journey through fandom, I associate Kondou Takashi with Ralph Wierec in Soukou no Strain, as well as with Sugisaki. I liked him in both, and think he has a strong voice and good range.

Yuuki Aoi (two u's just show that her surname has a long u; a long mark over the u would do, too) is becoming one of my favorites. She is only just about to turn 18 and has a tremendous amount of skill she is just beginning to develop (Vampire Bund, Yumeiro Patissiere, Kiruminzoo, Kure-nai, Yutori-chan).

Toyosaki Aki is good -- the moe voice of the moment, and winner of a "new seiyuu" award this year -- and Hikasa Youko is parlaying Mio into a nice career. She has something going for her, too.

And since Denpateki na Kanojou, I have realized that Hirohashi Ryou is one of the very best seiyuu around.

The director directed Shakugan no Shana, and I see similarities in the look. That was not a favorite show of mine, so this probably won't be either, but the quality will be there. The writer who's adapting the novel did Elfen Lied, Sky Girls, and...Queen's Blade....

The Anime Network Online website will be simulcasting Iciban Ushiro no Dai Maou starting Friday, April 2. The series will be available for free to registered site members. Site registration is also free. There will be regional restrictions. [Source]

Spoiler for Daimaou 1 - The Sorting Hat and the Scarf of Sexual Preference:

This year, you bet, gonna get out of here
The reign of Akuto is drawing near
He'll have the greatest wizard career
It's gonna be totally awesome
Look out world, for the dawn of the days
When everyone will do whatever he says
No one will stand in his way
And he'll be the one who is totally awesome

The Sorting Raven has spoken, Akuto. Welcome to Slytherin. That said, the manic pacing, Kena's melodramaticness (I like that), fanservice and the magical world having a bizarre set o customs that's really going to give Akuto a run for his money, plus a great voice cast. I'm in. Plus, it's being streamed on CR, which is always convenient. I do like that the OP mimics the style of REALOVE:REALIFE's PV.

Bah, I've been suckered into watching this show by a friend who said there's a childhood friend LI for the main guy. But just from the first episode, none of the girls have tripped my osananajimi radar yet, so yeah, I've been april fooled...

That said, I feel bad for the main guy. Here he is trying his best to be good, but he's treated evil just because he has been predicted to be the demon lord. Makes me keep rooting for him for some reason; maybe because he ain't the wuss most harem leads usually are?

That's because he's actually making an effort to do something. This kind of lead male is refreshing from time to time, most leads of old made no effort to better themselves.

And, this gets added to my "gotta watch it now" list. I really like what I've seen so far in Episode 1, and not to mention even though manga translations haven't gone very far yet, it looks to be that the anime will have at least 2 or stretch 1 story into there. (3 girls meet each other in a span of less than 5 minutes!) So hopefully this will be a thread where the anime won't be brutally compared to the manga, I've gotten kind of sick of that lately.

Thinking about it... Normally the tsundere lead female (not saying she is) is bink and smacking the lead male into oblivion, but wow, Sai knocks out Junko-chan twice. Score one for a change in direction Easily my favorite moments of this episode.

And lol, I was hunting for this thread in the "Current" section, this definitely needs to be moved there to get more exposure.
